Metahuman: Unleashing the Infinite Potential of Humans

To unleash the full potential of biologization for the purpose of human development, it is helpful to better understand the biological uniqueness of humans and their possible evolution into future meta‐humans with infinite capabilities. The Metaverse should become a platform that enables human mass flourishing – a combination of material well‐being and the “good life” in a broader sense. On 11 February 2021, Epic Games announced their MetaHuman Creator by revealing a first look at this new browser‐based app that will empower anyone to create a bespoke photorealistic digital human with a very high fidelity of hair, skin, eyes, teeth, wrinkles, shadows, and so on. The purpose of the MetaHuman Project is to build a more realistic virtual world by crossing the notorious uncanny valley of virtual reality, augmented reality, robotics, and photorealistic computer animation. This chapter reviews the simulation hypothesis.
